1.30pm Sean Baldwin: Shooting, R7 50m Rifle 3Positions Qualifier
Sean has already been in action in Rio, finishing 33rd in the 10m Prone qualifying and 19th in the 10m Standing qualifying, failing to reach the finals in both. But the 50m outdoor events are his preferred range – he scored a personal best in the 50m Prone at London 2012.
The Irish Defence Forces member said: “It's the wind and there's more to think about. Here, it's so easy to hit a 10 to be honest, but it's also so easy to miss. The smallest little movement here - it's bigger up there.
"I'm shooting really well in 50m prone, so once that keeps up I'll be very happy."
2.03pm Deirdre Mongan: Athletics, F53 Shot Put final
This will be Deirdre’s first appearance at a Paralympic Games, and she has form coming into the competition.
The Galway woman won bronze at the 2016 Para-Athletics European Championships in Italy in June, while she also secured bronze at the IPC World Championships in Doha last year, after producing a best throw of 4.02 metres.
The Milltown woman is based in Newcastle and has been in a wheelchair since a farming accident at the age of 14.
3.30pm Nicole Turner: Swimming, SM6 200m IM Heats
The youngest member of Team Ireland, 14-year-old Nicole has seen plenty of action in Rio already and set a new PB when coming fifth in the 50m butterfly final on Friday. The Laois woman also managed to reach the 50m Freestyle final, where she finished seventh. She will be hoping to reach another final tonight in the 200m IM, although her favoured discipline is yet to come - the 100m Breaststroke.
3.54pm James Scully: Swimming, S5 50m FS Heats
James has shown great form in the pool already, reaching the 200m freestyle final where he clocked a brilliant PB of 2:51.45 to take sixth place.
He finished fifth in the same discipline in London 2012, with a much slower time of 2:53.03.
While 50m is his less-preferred distance, the man from Meath is relishing being part of the Games, saying after his 200m final: "It's all I could have dreamed of. I can hold my head high. The atmosphere in this place... mother of God I've never seen the likes of it."

Helen won Ireland’s first European para-equestrian medal when taking bronze in the Grade 1a Individual Test in 2011.
However, she really came to the fore at the London Games, winning silver and bronze in her individual events in 2012, while she also helped the Irish team to bronze.
The Wicklow woman will be hoping to add to that haul in Rio.

8.15pm Ireland: CP Football, Ireland v Great Britain

This afternoon they face Great Britain, with little to play for but pride for both sides as Ukraine and Brazil have already qualified for the semi-finals out of Group A.
